A three way battle is brewing regarding the future of Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milano’s San Siro district between the council of the City of Milano, Inter and AC Milan. Talks have been ongoing on for months regarding the refurbishment of the stadium that was furbished for the 1990 FIFA World Cup without any solution being on the horizon, according to Corriere della Sera.
“Inter see the San Siro as indispensable though they would love to have the stadium all by themselves and rename it after Suning. AC Milan on the other hand had opened up to the possibility of building a new stadium and have asked the City council to evaluate possible areas.”
“There is a project ready to refurbish the San Siro and it would cost around €250 million. Inter is the team with the highest average attendance average at 58.000 so far this season and the idea, in collaboration with Milan, is to lower the capacity of the stadium from 80000 to 60000” Corriere della Sera report.
